NCAA Championship Thread : Session III

[blcoach80]

Apparently you smooth brains don’t watch any other matches other than Iowa. There’s 4 matches on the top side at 84 happening right now and there’s a total of 10 points scored in all 4. But you’re not paying attention because there’s no Hawkeyes on the mat to cry about. And you’re old enough to be a grandfather. Incredibly embarrassing.

0 points scored in the 1st period of all 4 quarterfinals at 184. None of them were Hawks?!

 

[Agoodnap]

Well then have your team lose more often and it wouldn't be a problem.

I honestly don't know why there's always so much pushback on this simple concept/solution..........

I mean f*** even Nick Saban is out here on record saying Alabama losing more would bring in more fan interest.

We would if you guys had done something similar during the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

 

[Aardvark86]

Everyone else just blocks and looks to counter Iowa wrestlers.

They wrestle entirely different and practically lay on their backs for Penn State guys. Garbage.

now that's comedy.

I know. A disappointment to many here no doubt.

 

[dbldoofus]

Always been big on Brands. Not impressed with what I’ve watched. The development, game planning. It’s all we like tough wrestling and grinding it out when we have too. It’s more like the plan. Grind it out unless it comes super easy. Don’t ever do something with risk. We lose a lot of close matches. We win some too. As of late who have we watch develop as a wrestler in our room? Not saying it doesn’t happen.

I dunno. Brands with that yellow sneaker against RBY was genius

 

[Wahawk56]

I love the brands bros but we need better fkn wrestlers. tired of this shit

They need to start by breaking up the staff. You don't need both tom and Terry on staff as they pretty much work with the same weights and teach the same tired philosophy, marinelli coaches how he wrestled and it shows, Telford is a volunteer, but not really giving anything good but being another body to roll around with for heavyweight.

 

[78HKEYE]

now that's comedy.

Cole Matthews begs to differ.

The only passive wrestler in this session was Brands. Spencer and Real both put up points. Murin got beat but it wasn't because he was passive or wasn't trying. Same with Teske. Siebrecht was creating action in match and got in trouble trying to be funky.

 

[Czech Hawk]

Nebraska :/

 

[Kale_yeah]

I notice cael not on the bench for all the quarter final bouts ,probably doing some portal recruiting ,4d chess.

 

[Hercuhawk]

Almost all of our guys are slow footed plodders. We lack athletes. Strength and intensity is great but we are severely lacking quickness and explosiveness.

 

[Aardvark86]

No. You actually have that laughably backwards.

You guys take a jab at PSU, my replies cause you (collective “you”) embarrassment, then you scream “ban him!”

dude. you're trolling. and not in a good way. just step away please, you're embarassing the rest of us.

 

[Hercuhawk]

Abe following Nelsons lead

So many hawks have been caught flat footed this year. Just slow and not great scramblers. Hell of a bunch of hand fighters tho

 

[just_somebody]

wtf Assad?
he basically went from having a leg, to taking himself down.

 

[GlenHawk]

That's all right. I feel a little bit like dying.

BAS

 

[STEEL125]

Portal at 133, 149/157 (wherever Chittum is not), 184, and 197. Realistic? Probably not. But that’s what it will take.

Just so bad, this is some of the worst wrestling I have seen from Iowa in a long time.

 

[cookercha]

You’re shocked? Assad is garbage. He’s gotten worse since he entered Iowa.

 

[rufus-hawk]

To be honest, I mostly come over here to get a different perspective and see how different fan based view and experience the same events. I’m out sports.

I always seem to forget the high likelihood of any of my sarcasm/silliness being met instantly with “hurrrrr durrrrr Sandusky, steroids, biased refs” which probably is the impetus for reflexively classless posts like my “Iowa style” jab.

Maybe just remember you’re a guest on someone else’s board.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Nebraska :/

Having a really good round.

 

[Gusaford]

Show some class.

 

[Life=HawkeyeWrestlin]

You’re shocked? Assad is garbage. He’s gotten worse since he entered Iowa.

remember when he got beat by a high schooler

 

[Czech Hawk]

It would be something if we don’t end up with a trophy. Kinda knew it was possible to not finish 2nd possibly but if we don’t change the momentum it could get dicy.

 

[just_somebody]

BAS

i tried googling, but not sure what this one means

 

[PAHURDLER]

Maybe just remember you’re a guest on someone else’s board.

Totally fair and reasonable take. You are right.

 

[Steamboat529529]

I haven’t been paying attention to the team race. Is second place in jeopardy for iowa?

 

[MVPFAN]

Business as usual.

 

[just_somebody]

Alright Cass, send the topside brackets out on a good note this session

 

[BIG10MANIAC]

I want to see the media ask Tom the hard questions....

Trophy

 

[Macbride79]

Thank you.

PAHurdler -- If you want to come over to the Iowa site to boast, so be it. Cael Sanderson has it rolling like Dan Gable did for Iowa in late 1970s through mid 1980s.

However, none of the greatness of Cael changes the perception that Penn State has nationally. I live out west. If you ask someone out here what is the first thing that comes to mind when they think of Penn State, it is Jerry Sandusky (sexual predator) and Joe Paterno covering up for him. No title this weekend, or even a run to the Sweet 16 in men's basketball will change that perception.

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

I haven’t been paying attention to the team race. Is second place in jeopardy for iowa?

Indeed. Currently sitting 4th behind Nebraska and Cornell with fewer semifinalists.

 

[just_somebody]

Business as usual.

ahh. i did consider if you meant BAU (instead of BAS)

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

I haven’t been paying attention to the team race. Is second place in jeopardy for iowa?

Big time. They're in 4th currently.

 

[Gusaford]

I want to see the media ask Tom the hard questions....

What should be the US's policy toward China?

 

[MitchLL]

That four AAs estimate looking bout right.

1/2 between Max and PK.

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

You’re shocked? Assad is garbage. He’s gotten worse since he entered Iowa.

The problem is he wasn't that good to begin with.
